They get a thumbs up from me. I think it looks modern and catches the eye. I was not a fan of the old colors. Are they changing the interior colors as well?
Jump to postI have come across a lot of training books for Cessna all the way up to airlines. Some are dated but most seem like they would still be good. Is there anywhere to sell them with out taking them to a book store which will not give very much for them. I see some of them selling for $20-$40 used online...
Jump to postI have flown Delta off and on for certain trips. They do a pretty good job and no real complaints. Some of their aircraft feel very old and dated. Besides that, they do a good job in my book.
Jump to postI have often wondered about the paint schedule also. I have noticed some worn looking aircraft on flights before. Also certain paint schemes show the grime, dirt, water marks more also.
Jump to postI don't know how they are doing but we are heading to Las Vegas for $67 a round trip each! I love to hit Vegas and just stay two night so I don't need much. Got a free room out in Vegas to! The only thing I worry about is the leg room. I'm a tall guy, but for the price I figured it was worth a shot ...
Jump to postFirst off Bless this family. I find it strange that anytime a Cirrus plane crashes people get defensive when they ask what's wrong with these aircraft. It seems everyone always blames the pilot in these aircraft. A bunch of what ifs and accusations against a dead person. I'm sure the Cirrus aircraft...
Jump to postAirlines should have WI-FI available these days. This should be the norm on flights. I enjoy getting work done and just reading articles online while flying. Of course I enjoy the take off and landing and take breaks to enoy the flight also.
Jump to postSo can a person have two Embraer ERJ145's and start an airline? I know a lot of airlines and people on here say 50 seat aircraft make no sense, but if you had the right markets and really worked hard I can see it being a good thing. I think start up cost and and a solid advertisement fund is where m...
Jump to postDid Metrojet ever really have a chance? That model was doomed from the start in my opinion.
Jump to postThe one who tried to fly over the cookoo's nest!
Jump to postAll this arguing over a stupid sign? It's a sign and nothing more. I'm sure some will notice and others will not. If they are depending on a sign on top of a short building for revenue then they are in trouble. I think Jet Blue has done well with advertising on a limited budget for their size. I hav...
Jump to postBottom line, I n this economy you have to be on your "A" game. There is no room for excuses or blame. Own up to your own faults and move forward. The customer is always right even when their wrong! United has a pr nightmare on their hands. I have said it over and over again. You can make mistakes, b...
Jump to postI wonder if people knew how old some of the planes were they were flying on, would they change their minds about who they fly with? I have to say the <acronym title="Delta Air Lines (USA)">DL</acronym> <acronym title="Air Madagascar">MD</acronym>-80 I flew on a while back looked decent. I scared a g...
Jump to postI was wondering who has the oldest fleet in the airline industry? I was thinking Delta. Which leads me to some other questions. In my business we can get away with several years of using our vehicles before we must replace them. They can be in great shape and look great but our customers look down o...
Jump to postBottom line <acronym title="United Airlines (USA)">UA</acronym> has screwed up in Houston. Most people are flying with Southwest now. If they can fly with another airline then they will. <acronym title="United Airlines (USA)">UA</acronym> will be the last resort! Yes there has been a different in se...
Jump to postAs a native Houstonian I don't care for <acronym title="United Airlines (USA)">UA</acronym>!

Jump to postI think the problem is quality airlines in America. If someone builds a strong simple airline they will do great in the United States. If you do it with little care and just throw a bunch of money out there, then you will fail!
Jump to postI have had one about a police helicopter crashing in to my pool over and over the past 5 years. They have their spot light on and are looking for someone but all the sudden is spins out of control and crashes in my pool.. I try to help the guys on board, but my dream ends each time I get to the pool...

Jump to postUnited has upset a lot of Houston customers. There's a dislike for them down here. Ask anyone on the street about the Houston Hobby expansion and they are most likely to tell you they want it. I was a long time Continental flyer. After United took over I had several unpleasant experiences. I have be...
Jump to postWhy should a family with kids get to preboard? Why do people with kids expect special treatment? It's each person responsibility to make sure to handle your personal needs. Airlines are nothing more than a vessel to get from point a to point b. You want to sit together, try to plan in advance and pa...
Jump to postHa ha. Love some of the responses. I enjoy looking at the planes. Scotch can be a good thing to. I just have heard a few instances of not being able to leave and having to stay for a couple days and I was wondering what things that you can have with you help you deal with it better. I will check in ...
Jump to postOver the years I have avoided traveling during December through March because of all the weather delays. I've only had to do a few trips over the years and had no bad luck. You see the airport closings or canceled trips on tv and people look like a Mack truck has hit them. I know most of us say, get...
Jump to postI'm just thinking in the age we live in with the terrorist and such this is not a bright idea. I don't think I could fly on such an aircraft. I know humans make errors, but humans can also think for themselves. Computers can only do what they are programed to do.
Jump to postAs an Aggie, my thoughts and prayers go out to the ones involved.
Jump to postIt just seems the age does not mean that much to the airlines. I can see where the over hauls where a issue. I thought if an aircraft was having more repair cost it would be a reason for retirement!
Jump to postI have flown with many airlines. Some have a newer and nice fleet. Some have plain junk and are just plain scary! I was just wondering from some of the people who may have insight in to the commercial industry. I can't imagine age is anywhere at the top, even though I would like to believe it. I'm g...
Jump to postI think each aircraft has its positives and negatives. Airlines must keep these aircraft up and running. There's a reason they are called regional jets. Airlines will beat and abuse them and get every dollar out of them. Personally I think there's no reason for broken seats on an aircraft. I also th...

Jump to postGet use to it. People lie to your face every second of the day and probably including your spouse or significant other! Lying has become easy for many people especially in the airline industry!
Jump to postI just wonder why Jet Blue and Express Jet have not hooked up yet. They could even start on a small scale to see how they could do with the cities that have less than normal load factor. I really think Jet Blue needs to turn the page and start looking at the big picture. They started off so well, bu...

Jump to postThey are fine. They still have plenty of tuning to do with this operation. Everyone new there was going to be a loss of $$$$ while attempting this business model. I could see a new management come in if the numbers do not rise according to the market. Also deleting the possibility of flying 2X a day...
Jump to postThis may have been bounced around here before. I was wondering what do you do to make flying easier on yourself as a passenger? We all know packing the right items and what is safe to carry on speeds up the process. My wife and I have it down to a regular science. We always arrive early. We wear com...

Jump to postI don't pay much attention to these list. My experience has been good with a few of these airlines. Something about this list is fishy!
Jump to postWhen I first read this I was getting pissed. Then the good natured side of me came out.

Jump to postWN is so lost when it comes to customer service. I always did think it was crap when the ones with kids got on first with all their crap taking up all the space. Why does <acronym title="Southwest Airlines (USA)">WN</acronym> refuse to us assign seating? Because they could not over sell their seats!...
